14 Comments on Sparkle Equips GeForce 8600 GTS with LCD Screen

thats a great idea...very innovative. now all we have to do when we want to check out our schway graphics card is take the sidepanel off our case or either leave it completely off or look around for a clear side panel which may or not be available for the case.

great idea but its one spanner short of a toolbox. its one cookie short of a cookie monster

maybe if they'd thought about it properly they could have given us a little LCD screen which sits in one of our floppy or CD-rom bays that wouldnt be too difficult. add a few wires. get a mold going for the plastics & volah.

Though it is rather gimmicky, I do see a niche for this. I personally would just rather use a piece of software and have all that information available to me on my monitor.

Yep, because there is no one in the world that already has a clear side panel and there aren't cases out that come with clear side panels...:banghead:

um, hardware RivaTuner, ATITool/ATI Tray Tools, nTune etc.. very innovative Sparkle! how much is this going to cost vs. the FREE software alternatives? i am all for show but there's a line between shopping and shopping S-Mart.

Wow, another "clever" marketing idea meant to diverge people's attention from the fact that the 8600 series is underpowered! What next, a toaster 8600 gts "super-mega-clocked" with one bios for each application you have!?! Wake up nVidia and give us a proper mid-range DX10 gpu!
Probably this is meant for enthusiasts that have cases like Antec's 900, but those will probably know better and go for a 8800 GTS 320 instead. I know I would...
